Player Notes[]

Mechanics
  • Team Support is a passive skill that is always active.
Strategies
  • Rank 6 Defense Grid might not pair well with the Remnant VI skill; unless Ryder carefully manages it, the construct will not be within 8 meters most of the time.
  • Rank 5 Team Recovery gives the Remnant VI skill a direct upgrade.
  • Rank 6 Life Support is also a very powerful skill even if Ryder is using the Assault Turret (skill).
  • Ryder and multiplayer characters with Rank 5 Tactical Revive will survive almost anything, resisting 60% of all damage.
  • Rank 6 Life Support combines very well with the Bio-Converter augmentation that drains 5% of Health when the clip is empty to refill the Ryder's clip. This skill and augmentation combination is one of the most useful without a downside.
  • Rank 6 Life Support synergizes very well with Auxiliary Systems Rank 6 Shield Feedback by allowing Ryder to periodically restore both Health and Shields simultaneously when using any Tech power.
  • Rank 6 Life Support requires using a Tech Skill to activate the health regeneration. Prioritize Tech skill selection to a fast recharging skill or a skill that has a variable recharge time based upon usage to maximize the ability to regenerate health. Flamethrower is an excellent Tech skill to use as Ryder can shoot a tiny burst of flame and then stop without having a lengthy recharge time. Flamethrower's very short recharge time when fired in burst mode combined with the Bio-Converter's recharging ammo is an excellent pairing when Rank 6 Life Support is taken. Ryder can simply shoot until out of ammo, automatically spend the 5% health to refill ammo, and then flame to restore the lost health.
  • Energy Drain is also a very effective skill to combine with Rank 6 Life Support. With the Rank 6 Team Drain of Energy Drain, Ryder can jury-rig something very similar to Cora Harper's Shield Boost skill to restore both health and shields.
